Update: In early September 2021, AE911Truth’s board voted to remove Richard Gage from his position as the organization’s CEO, citing controversy generated by his “off-mission” (Covid-19-related) comments that were highlighted in a Slate article about Spike Lee’s 9/11 documentary, “NYC Epicenters 9/11-2021 ½.” Lee recut the documentary’s final episode following public backlash for providing a platform to AE911Truth in the show, removing all footage featuring the organization. ![]() Richard Gage speaks at an AE911Truth event in Watertown, MA in Dec. ![]()
